Act 3 of Macbeth is wrought with
internal conflicts. When the act opens, Banquo reflects on
the witches' prediction and here he admits that he suspects foul play on Macbeth's
part. But he also considers whether or not the prediction will come true for him also,
and he hopes that they will so that he can stop thinking about what the witches said.
Banquo is troubled by the witches' prediction and thinks of it
often.
Macbeth also reveals an inner conflict in Act 3. He
is quite afraid that the prediction will come true and that all his ill acts have been
only for the benefit of Banquo and his sons. Macbeth now wrestles with having to decide
what to do next to secure his position on the throne. Macbeth decides to have Banquo
murdered and once again challenge the course of fate.
